I really dislike the majority of the focus of this article on just getting more EVs. While electrification is important, it doesn't really solve any of the current transportation issues and tries to position itself as the climate fixer. Yes, EVs are technically better for the climate, but what is even better is competent public transit. EVs transport a fraction of people that trains, trams, and busses can, which makes them much less energy efficient. Remember that electricity is still generated in lots of places using non-renewable resources, and the manufacturing of batteries also contributes a significant amount of carbon emissions. Given how big cars are and how little people they tend to transport, you start to see how extremely inefficient they are. Removing cars (more specifically, the dependence on cars) is always better than replacing them one for one.

The real focus should be on building more public transportation options to compete with cars, and petitioning local government to make changes to remove car-centric zoning laws and allow for mixed-use zoning, which is greener, cheaper to maintain, and brings in more city revenue than large roads and parking lots.

I'd love to see a bigger focus on creating better public mass transit systems instead of focusing on producing more oil for cars. Cheaper gas addresses the symptom, not the cause.

Rust borrows a lot of it's design from functional programming languages like Haskell, which has its good and bad. You could also choose to implement this behavior iteratively like typical C programs, but that tends to be ugly in other ways.

Personally, I've grown fond of the functional style. You see it in other places too, like the higher order functions in JavaScript. What's good about them in Rust is you still get amazing performance due to zero-cost abstraction. Trying to implement it yourself would likely be slower, so use them any chance you get.

C is just crazy. You accidentally forget to put the bounds in a sorting function, and now you are root.

Development for NewPipe Sponsorblock has ended. They recommend using Tubular instead.

I prefer to zsh git

My slippery slope started with buying an old laptop off my company and deciding to install Ubuntu on it. Now all of my devices run Linux, I switched to Android with a FOSS ROM, degoogled myself in almost every way, and I run Nextcloud on an old laptop. Feels great to really own my devices and data.

It's argue it still shouldn't even be a "subscription". A payment plan would be a simpler and more safety-conscious implementation. If the buyer fails to keep up with required payments, then you're focused on collections, not disabling functionality.

The seller could even just not offer payment plans, because plenty of other third parties already specialize in personal loans. They're just reinventing a stupider wheel.

I only just realized Memories existed, and man do I wish I knew about it when I started.

Memories allows you to view a timeline, improves loads using generated thumbnails, sorts by location, and even does facial recognition with the Recognize app installed. 1000x improvement over default photos app.

Yes

I regularly use wireless earbuds, which are extremely convenient, but I am not looking forward to the day when the battery is insufficient for me and I can't replace it due to "innovation". I also miss out on having splitters so that 2 people can listen to the same audio. I know Bluetooth LE is supposed to fix that, but I don't even know what devices support that. Like others said, having the choice is important, but Apple's "bravery" and market domination removed that from us...

Here is their POC in Python:https://github.com/JJTech0130/pypush

And their article explaining it: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works

Damn, that sounds like a cool job. I would like to do more Rust at work, but alas, everything here is either Python or Java.

Most likely this is Aluminum+Arch

Just a few shortcuts that may help:

• docker ps is an alias for docker container ls
• as long as it can be uniquely identified, a prefix of the container ID can be used instead of copy pasting the entire ID
• you can use container names instead of IDs
• tab completion works for container names

As someone else suggested though, docker compose is probably best suited for this job, but hopefully this helps in other situations.

Ouch. I'm sorry you had to find out that way. But in the plus side, you'll never forget.
